I bought moist whisker licken's chicken flavor yesterday for my kitten and awarded her for strachin her post and for coming to me when I called her name, "Summer". (so i fed her 2 x yesterday)
Today, when she came to me when I called her, I decided to award her, but she didnt take the treat. Do you think she's sick of it already? Should I award her less?

Praise and affection are better than too many treats. Cats aren't as food-motivated as dogs are, so she may not want to eat every treat you offer her.
Cats, even young kittens, are good at knowing how much to eat. They prefer to eat small amounts several times throughout the day.

Nothing against what you bought, but maybe she is finicky. I have three cats and my boyfriend has a cat. I buy two different kinds of treats, all of the boys like crunchy treats and the girl likes soft, they have different personalities and likes and dislikes. The treats stay on my kitchen table and I will shake the can and everybody comes running. I usually require for them to do 'something' for the treat, but sometimes I just give them several pieces. I wouldn't say the get them every day, but they have developed the taste for them (they are all over 1 yr).

cats are cats, they dont know they are being rewarded, and yes maybe she isnt all that fond of them after a couple of trys. who knows, cats are picky eaters and fickle about what they eat today they wont eat tomorrow. just give them to her one at a time and see if she likes them, if not, well who knows.

CATS dont really understand reward and praise, like dogs do. Have u seen many cats do tricks? just offer her 1 a day. CATS are so picky and finicky anyways.

rewards are good but the cat will take what she thinks is good. don't over do it.
